*In the wake of her kinda bizaare/awkward singsong interview of Hillary Clinton for her new Apple Music show, “The 411,” singing diva Mary J. Blige isn’t taking criticism she’s receiving too well. And that’s an understatement, based on her reaction.
“Everybody shut the f— up!!!!!” the R&B singer said in a quickly deleted tweet. “#takethat #haters #crabsinabarrel #simpleminded #the411.”
The scathing tweet comes the same day as what could only be described as “different” … an Apple promo in which Blige sings Bruce Springsteen’s “American Skin” to Hillary Clinton.
“If an officer stops you, always be polite,” Blige sang in the one-minute video. “And never, ever run away, promise mama you’ll keep your hands in sight.”
In addition to negative responses from the public, Bilge was also the recipient of scorn from Inae Oh of Mother Jones who wrote in in a story titled “Someone Please Explain What the Hell Is Going on With This Mary J. Blige, Hillary Clinton Interview” that the clips “created far more confusion than the excitement Apple likely intended.”
Here’s some of the reaction to the video from the public:
That Mary J Blige/Hillary Clinton commercial is so cringeworthy & I felt secondhand embarrassment.
